What to Consider When You’re Designing a Custom Bar For Your Home

A custom bar area could be the perfect addition to a man cave or any other part of the house where you want to host guests. Custom cabinets are ideally suited for this type of installation — but you’ll want to do a bit of planning to ensure that everything turns out how you want it.

Custom-Fit to the Purpose

Not all custom bars are created equal. Some people may simply want a space where they can store and/or display glassware, wine bottles, and other related items. If you want to use the custom bar to entertain the whole family, you might wish to incorporate a mini fridge where you can keep sodas or add a microwave for making popcorn on movie nights. Carefully consider how you will use the space so you can account for everything you might want or need. 

Know Your Space

Understanding how much space you have to work with is crucial. You may not have enough room for all your desired features, so knowing your limitations can make it easier to narrow down between which features are “must haves” and which would just be “nice to have.” Measuring the height of your tallest bottle or accessory can help you figure out the proper measurements between the counter and upper cabinets, and the top shelf of the cabinets and the ceiling.
